Download the D.C. United 2008 Schedule

I just found this today, not sure if anyone else is using it.

From that site:

The D.C. United 2008 schedule is available to download and import to Outlook via a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file. To download and save the .csv file to your computer, right-click on the following link and select "Save Target As..." from the popup window.

I followed the instructions, and now every game this season has been imported into my Outlook calendar. And since I use a "Windows Mobile" enabled smart phone, that entire schedule is also on my mobile.

Very nice.

great find

I contacted the front office about this ages ago. I wanted to have the 2000 season on my Palm V. I guess 8 years isn't too long to wait. It's crazy that these weren't made available before now, they are incredibly easy to produce.

:D

This may answer my question from the other thread.

This file should be importable to Google calendar also.

Haven't tried it though, user beware.

If you figure out, let me know. I've tried at work and at home and I keep getting an "oops the calendar is not available right now" Seems to be some formatting issue (http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-bugs/msg/a5064ab1d1916488)

Got it. The underscores.

Delete the underscores (and replace them with a space) from the headers in the file (with Excel).

I also removed the reminder and show-time-as columns, but I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Underscores aren't CSV compliant, per the Google help, so that's probably the reason.

Anybody computer deficient needing more specific instructions, let me know.

yeah i saw this a few weeks ago and put it on my phone and outlook.. fantastic!

if you search google calendar's public calendars, somebody has created a DCU schedule that is easily added.

public calendars are one of the great things about google calendar.

you can also put the program goosync on any smart phone and have the smartphone's calendar wirelessly sync with google calendar (and viceversa).

i could not adequately function at my job without these pieces of technology. . .

i just searched for it over last weekend and didn't find it, which is why i asked about in the other schedule thread. oh well.

this works just as well, but good to know.

you are correct, it no longer shows up when you search for it (i found it a few weeks ago). under calendar description, the one i found says the following. i hope this helps. if i figure out how to re-publish it, i will and let you know.

Awesome, thank you (and to the thread starter as well)

I made a Google DC United calendar and made it public. I don't know how to link to it, but you should be able to find it...
